 of plants are open to unlimited importation under continuing per- 

 mits, upward of 5,000 of which have already been issued. The three

 tion during the fiscal year 1922. representing respectively the im-

 Under regulation 2 of the quarantine, field, vegetable, and flower

 products imported for medicinal, food, or manufacturing purposes, 

 are free from all restrictions, even the taking out of a permit, and 

 hence no records of the importations of these classes of seeds and
